What's your favourite piece of random trivia? The utterly pointless kind which nevertheless makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside for knowing it?

Two of my favourites are:

A melcryptovestimentaphiliac is someone who compulsively steals women's knickers

"The Giraffe has the highest blood pressure of any animal (wonder why? )"

The ancestors of the present extant giraffes, which had hypotension (low blood pressure) collapsed when they raised their heads aloft to reach food, and therefore perished through starvation and did not reproduce.

Hypertension, or more precisely an appropriate level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure can in some specific instances be beneficial, and ensure the survival of this species.
